Symptom narrative

The patient came into the pharmacy on November 5th to report that she experienced extensive bruising after her flu shot on October 24. She said that it is not painful to the touch, but has been nearly 2 weeks, and she showed me that her arm is still very bruised. There was a bluish/purplish square shaped bruise about 2 inches by 2 inches in size. I told her that bruising can occur after any vaccination, and that, although very unfortunate, it should resolve in time.
